For the second year in a row, Kanye released an album under 30 minutes and got his quota of 3 tracks all in the UK top 20, 'Follow God' becoming his highest charter as the sole lead artist (i.e. excluding 'I Love It') since... 'Stronger' in 2007. 'Follow God' also must be one of the shortest UK top 10 hits (at least since the 1960s or so) at only 1:44 long; I'm never normally one to call songs too short, but in this case it really does feel like a fragment of a song to me. It narrowly dodged the reshuffle #10 ahead of 'South Of The Border', and scored a considerably better average than 'I Love It' in 2018 (which went 9-8-10-10-10-10).

J Hus' first major release since 2017 (outside of various features, a Daily Duppy session, etc), 'Must Be' instantly became his highest charter, but didn't stick around anywhere near as long as his older hits 'Did You See' and 'Bouff Daddy', though I prefer it.

Lizzo released 'Good As Hell' in March 2016, which I heard later that year after 'Phone' (probably still my favourite of hers), and it felt to me like it got solid non-chart traction at the time, but of course nothing compared to 2019. Similarly to Post Malone and Billie Eilish's large-scale breakthroughs dragging older songs of theirs into the Spotify top 200s, 'Good As Hell' began bubbling on the US Spotify chart in the wake of 'Truth Hurts', and rather than trying to force 'Juice' or other 2019 songs of hers that weren't connecting as well, they capitalised on 'Good As Hell' and turned it into a 3-years-belated hit. That was strengthened with the release of a remix featuring a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Ariana verse, which immediately replaced the original on major playlists and pushed the song into the UK top 10, which is why I credited the remix here (though I did specify you could vote for whichever version you prefer, if the versions differ that strongly for anyone anyway). It had about as average a performance as you could ask for.

A one-week UK rap top 10 hit that wasn't a debut, 'Buss Down' scraped there in between 3 weeks at #11, and scored about the same average as 'Taste (Make It Shake)'.

After reaching the top 10 for the first time in 2018, 'Step Into Christmas' did it again, and both times placed at #9 - in 2018 ahead of Bublé, in 2019 ahead of John Legend - with very few +5s or -5s. Its average is stronger this time but that might just be because John Legend sucked up more of people's negative points.

Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever (#10, 2002) was even shorter than Follow God at 1:31 long (and that was long enough for it), but there definitely haven't been many other sub-1:45 Top 10 hits in the last 40-50 years or so.

 

Needless to add, I look forward to the next installment of this, whenever that will be.

Was going to say it's interesting that 'Good As Hell' still ended up with a negative total despite having nearly a majority of positive votes - but looking back I see 'Walk Me Home' actually did have more positive votes than negative ones but ended up even lower :lol:

 

Justice for 'Follow God' and 'Step Into Christmas' xx

Not quite, but here's the next 20 :magic: (aka the least interesting section because it's 70% 1-weekers lol)

'Post Malone' (song) making it this far is an achievement for Sam Feldt, as his remake of 'Show Me Love' (which I still think is very nice) managed to spend all 4 of its weeks at #10 in 2015, and placed at #110 (4th last) in the 2015 EOY. 'Post Malone' is only able to beat one Post Malone song ('Wow.'), with 3 more to come.

 

'Giant' is a considerable decline from 'One Kiss' and 'Promises' ranking #2 and #4 of 2018, even though 'Giant' managed to ACR-dodge its way into spending even longer in the top 10 than both of them (14 weeks as opposed to 12 each).

 

I don't even remember 'Streatham' but it's Dave's highest entry (ahead of '18HUNNA' at #81, 'Disaster' at #83 and 'Location' at #97), and not just by way of having less weeks to rack up negatives, as it has a better average than the others, even if you isolated 'Location' to its best week alone.

 

Although George Ezra's 'Hold My Girl' is nowhere near 'Paradise' and 'Shotgun' ranking #8 and #10 of 2018, 'Hold My Girl's #5 debut is the same way 'Shotgun' started in 2018, so if 'Hold My Girl' had charted for 300 weeks too, who knows? At least he's lucky that 'Hold My Girl' made the top 10, whereas, as far as this list is concerned, Freya Ridings' only hit in 2019 was... 'Lost Without You'.

 

Lewis Capaldi has both of his highest entries here (following 'Bruises' at #92, 'Someone You Loved' at #103 and 'Hold Me While You Wait' at #105, out of 106 songs). 'Grace' may have benefited from having only one week, but it deserves props for managing to get a slightly positive number of points in its first week, unlike 'Someone You Loved' and 'Hold Me...' which took many tries to scrape above zero for a couple weeks. Then 'Before You Go' managed to do even better, reaching #2 one week - and it's lucky the year cuts off there, as its long continued 2020 run would drag it down to... the equivalent of #89 in this list.

On reflection I really should have given Follow God a +5 instead of a +4, I ended up loving it more after the first week!

 

Good to see Streatham, Baby Shark (:lol:) and Before You Go performing well here too.

Didn't remember there being such strong support for Baby Shark, altho I was the only to bestow it with an almighty +5!

'Sunflower' had a slow start in 2018, but ended up scoring its best weeks 2 months into its run, enough for it to land far higher here than in its first year - which feels unusual to me; it's like 'Before You Go' in reverse. If you combined its points, it would be the equivalent of #73 in this list - or #77 in 2018, exactly even with 'Better Now' (but that's not a fair comparison as 'Sunflower' got more than twice as many votes overall).

For what seemed like a polarising (if not outright poorly-received) song (then again that's all their non ~pure pop~ singles isn't it), I'm pleased 'Bounce Back' made the top 40! It's a shame it had such a short life because I grew to really love it; it's easily in my top few songs in this list, and one of my favourite Little Mix songs. Interestingly, it came pretty close to 'Woman Like Me's 2018 #35 rank, despite 'Woman Like Me' having literally 9 times as many weeks to rack up points. Not only that, but when 'Break Up Song' hit the top 10 a few weeks ago, it actually scored firmly in the negatives (but I presume it would've done better if it wasn't competing with Dua Lipa x3 and The Weeknd and Doja Cat and Mabel and... 0 hip hop songs).

Ariana's 2018 holdover is narrowly beaten by 'Don't Call Me Angel', which managed to disappear from all the charts in what felt like record-breaking time. She has a further 2 entries to come. Also not the biggest of longevity champions, 'ME!' landed around the middle in all 3 of its weeks, an interesting perspective shift because at the time it felt like an underperformance to me (particularly for landing well below a Stormzy song!), but now that the song's... reputation is set in stone, it almost seems like it did surprisingly well.

Back to Post Malone, with his only top 10 hit to date (not counting 'Post Malone') to spend less than 5 weeks there (and that's just 'Jackie Chan'; all his other top 10 hits as lead artist spent at least 8 weeks). 'Goodbyes' managed to outpeak most of those ('rockstar', 'Psycho', 'Better Now', 'Wow.') on reshuffle on debut, but had a more muted performance when it returned on the album release week. Then 4 weeks later, it vanished from the UK top 100, never to be seen again after 13 weeks between #5 and #23. Another one for the out-of-context record books.

Creeping towards the top 10 over the last few years, despite being a UK-only hit in a global streaming world, Wizzard made the top 10 for the first time in the digital era in 2019 and were duly rewarded with a #2 rank, just behind The Pogues (who are the only other 1-week song remaining).

Mabel's follow-up didn't come close to the numerous weeks at #1 of 'Don't Call Me Up', but did do much better than she since has with 'Boyfriend', which ranked #8 both weeks before its untimely departure.

One of Jax Jones' annual January top 10 hits, 'Play' did not reach the reshuffle #1 spot like its predecessors 'You Don't Know Me' and 'Breathe', but luckily for him (and us), he had something big on the way a few months later.

The Pogues manage to land at exactly the same spot as last year, despite charting for 2 weeks in 2018 and only 1 in 2019. Perhaps they benefited from being part of an almost entirely Christmas top 10 in 2019, whereas their 2018 weeks were shared with a few secular songs like 'Sweet But Psycho' and 'thank u, next'. Their 2019 performance was strong (and brief and well-timed) enough that 'Fairytale Of New York' ranks as the 4th highest average vote here, up from being the 15th highest in 2018.

'i'm so tired...' certainly feels like an odd reshuffle #1, but there was an empty week in between 'Don't Call Me Up' and 'bad guy' that something had to fill. 'Lose You To Love Me' feels like it went away fast for such a (surprisingly) strong debut (but not as fast as every other single from the album, whoops), but it did very well here in its time, though those weeks at #2 were miles behind 'Don't Start Now'. Then when it re-entered in the first week of 2020 (just because it wasn't on ACR while all the rebounding old hits had to wait to be reset), it ranked at #9.

Although every Sam Smith single lately seems to be a series of diminishing returns on the charts, 'How Do You Sleep?' ranks a good 56 spots ahead of 'Dancing With A Stranger' here. I just investigated and 'How Do You Sleep?' was in fact the first time Sam Smith ever made the reshuffle top 3 as lead artist - 'Like I Can' and 'Dancing With A Stranger' peaked at #4; 'Money On My Mind', 'Stay With Me' and 'I'm Not The Only One' peaked at #5; 'Writing's On The Wall' and 'Too Good At Goodbyes' never made it above #9; and the infamous chart murderer (?) 'Lay Me Down' was #10 every time. With collabs though, 'Promises' more than made up for it by being a reshuffle #1 and the EOY #4 of 2018, and 'La La La' also reached #3 for numerous weeks.

I'm So Tired was a Reshuffle #1? :blink: how did we let that happen people...

 

How Do You Sleep deservedly being Sam's best performing solo track on this to date.

Mariah comes out slightly higher than last year with, in both years, the only Christmas song to spend 4 weeks in the top 10 - unlike 2017, where Wham! and The Pogues managed 4 weeks too. However, it hasn't been able to reach #1 like it did in 2016 and 2017 since then; in 2018, it got stuck behind The Pogues and Wham!, while in 2019, its 2 weeks at #3 were behind 'Don't Start Now' and 'everything i wanted'. In 2016 and 2017 it was able to surpass popular songs like 'Rockabye' and 'Anywhere' respectively, so I'm thinking it's more of a fatigue setting in (it certainly has been for me) - that or having more Christmas songs to split ~pro-Christmas~ votes with.

'Sucker' gave the Jonas Brothers their first top 10 hit as a collective and Portugal. The Man their 2nd and it managed to climb to #2 here, but the f**king w***rs of this site chose to instead give Mabel an undeserved 4th week. Pathetic. In retrospect I wish the lead single had been 'Only Human', which I unexpectedly came to really love, but which didn't have much of a chance to get high in the charts as a post-album single (except in the US thanks to radio), unlike the easy lead single hype of 'Sucker'.

Perhaps the reshuffle surprise story of 2019 was Ed Sheeran managing to put out a well-rated song! 'Cross Me' was his first song to make the reshuffle top 3 since... well, 'Galway Girl' and 'Shape Of You', but that was just in the 2 weeks where the top 10 had 9 Ed Sheeran songs. Otherwise, it was 'Thinking Out Loud', which oddly managed a week at #3 in November 2014 before sinking to #10 as its endless run continued. Well, I say 'oddly', but his unpopularity may not have yet set in at that point; 'The A Team', 'Lego House' and 'Don't' were reshuffle #2 hits, and 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You' made #1 - his only reshuffle #1 ever (apart from 'Galway Girl' in the 9/10 Ed Sheeran weeks). From 'Thinking Out Loud' to present, he's had 19 top 10 hits; 11 of them have ranked #10 at some point, and a further 5 were only 'saved' by being against other Ed Sheeran songs. That only leaves 'Bloodstream' (*.*) and 'Own It', which fell no lower than #8 - and the very special 'Cross Me', which spent all of its 10 weeks in the top 7. Congrats to it (and also to me for counting this 6 months ago so I could just read off that now). However, it did then immediately fall out of the top 100 forever, RIP in peace.

Marshmello has had an impressive reshuffle history - 'Silence' and 'FRIENDS' were multi-week #2s, 'Wolves' reached #3, and 'Happier'... reached #1 despite my best efforts (somehow he went directly from one of my favourite hits of 2018 to one of my least favourites). That continued with 'Here With Me', which even came suprisingly close to #1 - it was only 7-8 points behind 'bad guy' both weeks. Given how it feels swallowed up by Marshmello's bigger hits, it's probably more notable for giving CHVRCHES a chart hit, and perhaps their popularity here helped even though surely no one would consider it one of their best songs (stream 'Clearest Blue' for clear skin etc).

A very impressive success for a hip hop song on this chart, 'Vossi Bop' even came only 6 points away from 'bad guy' in its first week, and perhaps would've made #1 at the end had 'Señorita' not come out the same week 'bad guy' went to ACR. There's a big jump in points there too; it's closer to #15 than it is to #22.

Ed Sheeran & Stormzy in the top 25? Do my eyes deceive me (especially the latter! :o)

 

You said You Need Me is Ed's only #1 Reshuffle ever but didn't Galway Girl also make it? (helped by... obvious reasons)

 

I was surprised at just how much I liked Sucker but then from memory I recall those weeks being pretty weak top 10s...

Oh yes whoops, I overlooked that part despite mentioning it elsewhere.

A lot of UK #1s in this section! 'Dance Monkey' had a very good start and was within 11 points of #1 in each of its first 4 weeks, though against some of the weaker #1s of the year ('Ride It' and 'Circles'). It was, as you'd probably expect, buoyed by many scores on both extremes; 16% of its votes were +5s and 15% were -5s, making it the only non-LadBaby song to be over 10% on both counts. ('Someone You Loved' is interestingly close with 9.5% and 17% respectively.) I also have a column in my spreadsheet for standard deviation of all weeks' votes put together, for whatever that's worth, and 'Dance Monkey' is the highest there of everything but a couple low 1-weekers ('I Love Sausage Rolls', 'Lights Up', 'Follow God'). It returned to the top 10 in 2020 and still didn't sink too far down, charting 6-7-6.

Ariana's 2 big 2019 hits come out practically tied, with just 2 points between them (and identical stats for +5s, -5s and positive votes!). They're so close that '7 rings' having an average of 28.4 voters per week while it charted, compared to 27.8 for 'break up', is enough to flip them around on the Points Per Voters numbers. The only real difference in their stats is that '7 rings' had more low-ish votes - 29% of its votes were from -3 to -5, which is slightly ahead of 'Dance Monkey' to be the most out of any song in the top 40. 'break up' evened that out with more mid-range votes; their high votes were about the same. Neither of them ever managed to reach the reshuffle #1 spot like 'thank u, next' narrowly did in 2018, but they did both come within 5 points of #1 once - on the same week. Additionally, 'thank u, next' was #18 on the 2018 EOY, so Ariana has occupied that spot 2 years in a row. No upcoming entries though, unlike 2018 where she was also #15 ('God is a woman') and #1 ('No Tears Left To Cry').

2019's second longest running top 10 hit (after 'Someone You Loved'), 'Old Town Road' never climbed above #3 yet showed remarkable persistence, never slipping below #6 and even returning to #3 in its 15th week. As such, it's the only song above #23 ('Cross Me') in this countdown that never made the top 2.

'everything i wanted' continued Billie's strong results here, even if 'Don't Start Now' prevented it from reaching #1 like its predecessors. Its run of course continued into 2020, where it accrued a further 208 points, so perhaps it'll be higher in the 2020 EOY. Combined, its points would be enough to be #4 in this list (#5 adjusting for numbers of voters).

These are the 15 songs that remain...

 

AJ Tracey - Ladbroke Grove

Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho

Billie Eilish - bad guy

Billie Eilish - bury a friend

Dominic Fike - 3 Nights

Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now

Jax Jones & Martin Solveig feat. Madison Beer - All Day And Night

Kygo & Whitney Houston - Higher Love

Mabel - Don't Call Me Up

Mark Ronson feat. Miley Cyrus - Nothing Breaks Like A Heart

MEDUZA feat. Goodboys - Piece Of Your Heart

Post Malone - Circles

Regard - Ride It

Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello - Señorita

Sigala & Becky Hill - Wish You Well

Urgh a pretty shoddy top 15 there really, just goes to show how many bad top 10s there were last year (and that most of the best ones aren't well regarded on here).

 

Especially irked at Ladbroke Grove & Circles being so high. Both have so many better songs but those 2 being rewarded not only commercially but on Reshuffle? Nah, not for me.

 

Expect Kygo or Dua will win this.

'All Day And Night' was stuck bubbling outside the top 10 for weeks, but when it finally scraped in at #10, it truly made the most of it. It scored a massive 108 points in its first week - the only time any song surpassed 100 points in either 2018 or 2019, and the highest by average too. ('Physical' has since gotten as high as 112 points, but with quite a few more voters.) Not only that, but it had a literal 87-point lead over that week's #2, 'bad guy', no small competition as it had been #1 for the previous 7 weeks. It fell back to #11 again, returned for another strong week (albeit a bit less dominant than its first), then was whisked off to ACR, obviously halting its potential in this countdown but leaving its cumulative stats in pristine condition: altogether, it managed an incredible average vote of +3.39, and 96% of its votes were positive. Not only are those both easily the highest of 2019, they could possibly be the highest of all time - my archives are far from complete (it's a long term project lol) but from 2009 to mid-2014, nothing comes out as high. (Numerous songs did do that well or better in individual weeks, but got dragged down across longer runs. The highest I have in total are Loreen's 'Euphoria', a 1-weeker, averaging +3.29, and Lady Gaga's 'Telephone', which lasted 5 weeks, being 89% positive votes.) 'All Day And Night' is the only song in this countdown's top 20 that charted less than 4 weeks, and beats Jax Jones' #22 rank of 'Breathe' last year. It's also my favourite charting song of 2019 (outside of the US bubbling under charts) so I'm quite happy with this.

'Señorita' was Shawn Mendes' first reshuffle #1, though helped by a bit of an easy week; 'Wish You Well' and 'Higher Love' took over right after with much higher points. Then, when 'Higher Love' got old enough that its points slipped, 'Ride It' was able to get in on the action too. It took a while for Billie Eilish to come within reach of the UK top 10, but when she did, she immediately hit it off here, debuting at #1 with 'bury a friend' and holding 'Don't Call Me Up' at bay for 3 weeks. It fell 1 point short of the latter in its 4th week, then when it returned, was 2nd to only 'bad guy'.

Narrowly missing the top 10, it's the song with the 2nd highest average (and 2nd highest % of positive votes), 'Wish You Well'. Given Becky Hill co-wrote 'All Day And Night', she played a part in both of the top 2 songs with the highest averages - and she reached #1 on reshuffle with 'Afterglow' and #2 with 'Gecko (Overdrive)' ~back in the day~, so she's had a very strong rate here. Unfortunately she narrowly lost an opportunity to prove that further, with MEDUZA's 'Lose Control' getting stuck at #11. 'Wish You Well' is quite an improvement from Sigala landing at #68 on the 2018 EOY with 'Lullaby', though that's probably taking a sample of him at his weakest; all his other top 10 hits except 'Give Me Your Love' have reached the reshuffle top 2.

5 reshuffle #1s there, but some of them don't feel quite as loved several months on, most notably Senorita which finished 3rd in the hatechart for 2019.

 

A few songs left definitely weren't #1s on the weekly reshuffle, so it's nice to see them do well here, even if that's partly down to their longevity.
